Bill Summary
To enact section 5.2322 of the Revised Code to designate October 1st as "761st Tank Battalion Day."
AI Summary
This bill enacts a new section in the Ohio Revised Code to officially designate October 1st as "761st Tank Battalion Day". The 761st Tank Battalion was a notable African American armored unit that served during World War II, and this bill appears to be a way of recognizing and honoring the historical significance of this military unit. By creating an official day of recognition, the bill aims to commemorate the battalion's contributions and raise awareness about their service and achievements during a time of racial segregation in the United States military. The bill is straightforward, simply adding this designation to the state's legal code to formally acknowledge the 761st Tank Battalion on an annual basis.
